Sittin' In With The CAT

The Refugees may be a relatively new band to many, but their members are longtime veterans of the music industry. Wendy Waldman (featured in Episode 60) is a composer/musician/singer who appeared on albums by artists including Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett and Maria Muldaur. She's released nine solo studio albums, too. Deborah Holland (featured on Episode 140) launched her career with the supergroup Animal Logic (including Stewart Copeland and Stanley Clarke) in 1987. Since then, she's released six solo albums and recently 2 new singles with Animal Logic. Touring and recording with Elton John and Rod Stewart, Cidny Bullens rounds out the trio. Multi-award winning program director Ray White shares insights from Wendy and Deborah talking about The Refugees and their other recent work. Their brand new album is California. In our showcase segment, we feature a tribute to the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," Tina Turner.
